The participants on Netflix’s ‘Love is Blind’ aim to break away from conventional dating norms and connect with someone ready for a serious commitment. In the seventh season, Brittany Wisniewski and Leo Braudy were among the many couples who formed connections in the pods. While they both had initial reservations, what set them apart was their ability to overcome those doubts and find comfort with one another. Their dedication to trusting the process and working on themselves resonated with viewers, making them one of the season’s favorite couples.
Brittany and Leo Shed Their Insecurities to be With Each Other
Leo Braudy shared that he had been searching for a life partner for some time, but the complexities of modern dating hadn’t worked in his favor. He joined the experiment hoping to find someone who would appreciate him for who he truly was, and the format of the show aligned with his preferences. He immediately felt a connection with Brittany Wisniewski, though he was also drawn to Hannah Jiles. When Brittany learned about his interest in Hannah, it stirred up her insecurities. Although she understood that Leo had every right to explore his options, it brought back feelings from past relationships where her partners had other choices, making her emotional.
Brittany opened up to Leo about her insecurities, and he listened with understanding. He reassured her that he would make his decision soon. Leo explained how he had grown up in a wealthy family and worked as an art dealer, inheriting most of the family fortune. He expressed his desire for a partner who would love him for who he was, not for his wealth, and said he needed time to reach a conclusion. When Hannah and Nick chose to move forward together, Leo felt a bit upset, mentioning that he wished Hannah had spoken to him before making her decision. However, he apologized for putting her in a corner and shared that, after reflecting on it, he knew Brittany was the right person for him.
Leo worried that his conversation with Hannah might make Brittany feel like she was his second choice. He expressed his feelings through a goofy poem to ease the tension, calling himself a “fool” for overthinking. Brittany could sense the sincerity of his emotions and happily accepted his proposal. However, when they finally met in person, she couldn’t shake the feeling that she had just gotten engaged to a stranger. Despite Leo being affectionate, caring, and respectful, Brittany felt uncertain but decided to give their relationship a chance. The couple chose to go to Miami, Florida, away from the cameras and other couples, to focus on getting to know each other better.
Brittany and Leo Have Managed to Stay Friends
After spending a few days in Miami, Florida, Brittany and Leo decided to part ways and end their relationship. However, they seem to have bonded over their shared experiences from the season and have remained friends. Their connection on social media indicates that things didn’t conclude negatively. Brittany’s uncertainty about her engagement to Leo was genuine and she said that there was something about the “energy” that did not work for her. She added that while she did find him physically attractive, she did not feel the things that one is supposed to feel when they are getting proposed to. Both of them have agreed that their chemistry was lacking and they could not see a future together.
Brittany added that the two of them had a great couple of days in Miami but soon the reality of spending the rest of their lives together dawned on them. Leo added, “We had a lot of conversations throughout the trip, and mutually came to the conclusion that we just didn’t see it turning into marriage.” Making a funny jab at his time on the season, Leo quipped that he should have gone to therapy before, and not after, being on a national dating TV show. Both of them have gone back to their regular lives and have shared that they are very good friends now. They talk almost daily and are glad that they threw their hat into the experiment. Brittany is now dating someone else and is giving a fresh chance to finding love.
Brittany and Leo Are Independently Pursuing Great Things in Life
Brittany leads a busy life, juggling numerous job responsibilities each day. She is deeply committed to her work as a professional esthetician and environmentalist. In August 2020, she founded Hands On HIIT, an organization dedicated to cleaning up waterways and organizing workout events. According to the latest data, her team has collected 12,397 pounds of trash from beach cleanups in the Baltimore City area of Washington, D.C. Additionally, Brittany is an author; in October 2020, she released her book, ‘Keeping Well: An Anti-Cancer Guide to Remain in Remission,’ where she shares her insights as a detoxification specialist. Her diverse interests and dedication to various causes are genuinely inspiring and will undoubtedly propel her further in life.
